Fighting Fire in Northern California

I participated in a New York State wildland firefighting crew this past August. We were deployed to the Six Rivers National Forest in Northern California. While there we mopped up, cold trailed and rehabilitated the Mad River Complex Fire. You can read more about our deployment here. The following are a few photos from my experience.
